trays from the oven.
but on the wire rack.
Insert the cake/pastries at a higher level.
Set the oven temperature to a slightly higher value.
Preheat the oven.
Set the baking or roasting temperature to a slightly
lower value. Important: baking or roasting times cannot
be shortened by selecting higher temperatures. It is
better to choose a slightly longer baking or roasting
time and to allow the dough to bake longer.
Do not place the baking form directly in front of the rear
wall of the oven, but in the middle.
Use less fluid the next time or set the oven temperature
to a value that is lower by 10 degrees. Pay attention to
the stirring times specified in the recipe. Do not open
the oven door too soon.
Do not grease the edge of the spring form. After
baking, carefully loosen the cake with a knife.
Insert it on a lower level, select a lower temperature
and bake the cake for a slightly longer time.
Insert it at a higher level and choose a lower
temperature the next time.
Use the deeper grilling tray for baking.
Use a toothpick to make small holes in the finished
cake. Then sprinkle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage
over it. The next time, choose a temperature that is
higher by 10 degrees and shorten the baking time.
The next time, use slightly less fluid and bake slightly
longer at a lower temperature. In the case of cakes with
a moist covering, first bake the base, sprinkle almonds
or breadcrumbs over it and then add the covering.
Pay attention to recipes and baking times.
If you select a slightly lower temperature, your cakes
and pastries will be browned more evenly. Trays in-
serted at the same time need not be ready at the same
time. Allow the bottom trays to bake for 5-10 minutes
longer and insert them at an appro priately earlier time.
Briefly reinsert the tray in the oven and remove the
biscuits immediately.
Carefully loosen the edge with a knife. Turn out the
cake again and cover the form several times with a cold
wet cloth. The next time, grease the form well and
additionally sprinkle breadcrumbs into it.
